Putting Together Your Bridal Trosseau: 2
These days, naturally, the trousseau is much more modern. In most cases, there are few, if any, “practical” items; that is, the items used for making the new home are not found in the modern day trousseau. Now, more lingerie is included, plenty of nightwear, as well as some luxurious items meant to treat the bride, the groom, and both at the same time. There are lush toiletries, excellent makeup, or even treats like chocolate.
Back to lingerie, however, merely packing panties and bras simply will not cut it. You should have a bridal set, including panties, bra, slip, negligee, and nightgown. This is traditionally worn on the day and night of the wedding, respectively.
Other appropriate items include a housecoat or bed jacket, slippers, stockings, and pajamas.
